PETITION: Support University Budget Cuts - they also patronize animal cruelty

The Issue

To fight animal cruelty in labs, ask your law makers to pass and support  BUDGET CUTS to Universities. They spend MILLIONS on monkeys, dogs, cats, and whatever else that moves to electrocute, burn, and put probes in them.   BUDGET CUTS will force universities to cut back on this sort of thing - or even cut it out. *Time to cut the pork out!*

Please support budget cuts to Universities - they need to learn to cut the pork. One area of HUGE waste is animal animal experimentation which costs USA tax payers $16 billion yearly,

but has very little to show for it, other than poisoning consumers with Emergency Room admissions driving up the cost of health care from toxic substances: 700,000 people in USA yearly-- from approved *animal tested* drugs.

"Besides motor vehicle accidents, the second leading cause of injury death in the US is drug-related poisoning, according to a new study published in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine. The study indicates that nearly 700,000 people end up in emergency rooms (ER) every year from pharmaceutical drug poisoning — and most of these visits involve young children."

Vivisectionists also live very lavish lifestyles often in mansions from the sweat of our tax payers' funds due to University waste, and have very little, if anything, to show for this waste.

One example, just in Florida:  PS: One example: "In 2010, over 15,000 animals were used in research (or held for future use) in Florida—who were used in painful experiments during which pain-relieving drugs were not provided to the suffering animals. NOT included in these numbers are the tens of thousands of mice and rats used in research every year in Florida."
